Sunstone Dragons are named after the orb on their tails, which resembles the gem of the same name. Their social structure resembles a lion pride, with one dominant male and several females banded together with their young. They prefer arid climates where they can blend in and dig for minerals and gemstones that they not only collect, but eat. The more gems they consume, the larger their tail stone grows. They are an aggressive breed; it is not uncommon to see two males battling for mates and territory.

Dragons are highly-intelligent reptilian creatures that—from a human perspective, at least—appear to live forever. Many different varieties of dragon exist, each with their own unique qualities, habitats, and behavior. Adolescence in dragons is usually marked by the growth of a hatchling’s wings, although not all breeds of dragons grow wings and some breeds have other traits that indicate the beginning of maturation. In Galsreim, dragons and humans coexist peacefully.

I failed hulaballoo attempts to be very silly. She makes faces, pulls pranks, tells jokes, and even laughs at nothing in a vain attempt to get other dragons to laugh. More than that, though, she attempts to be very loud. One day, her mate came storming into their cave, yelling, "What's all the hulaballoo about!" Excited, she tried to tell him of the joke she had made up only minutes before, but he walked right past her and into the sleeping area, where several stray hatchlings, who had escaped her notice, had been making a mess of things, accompanied by a great deal of noise. From that day forward, she refuses to leave the cave, stating to visitors that she failed in her attempts at hulaballoo and will not be showing her face in society again out of shame. Sad to say, not many dragons regret her absence.
